Subject: Re: Hot redeploying a WAR - HTML is not refreshed
Those are excellent suggestions. Thanks.
The other thing is that I cant actually recall ever seeing an HTML file
in
the work folder...
I see stuff like...
basic_002darithmetic_jsp.class
basic_002darithmetic_jsp.java
which is what it is used for... ie to hold the compiled JSP's...
if you using HTML to describe JSP's then we already have crossed lines...
Maybe this is causing the problem: the HTML files are wrapped up in
JAR files. This is functionality of the Eclipse help system. You can
wrap up all of your documentation content (HTML files, image files,
tables of contents, ...) in a JAR file. This becomes a documentation
plugin that the Eclipse application knows how to unpack and serve.
So my HTML content is actually in here:
C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\webapps\war-file-name\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\com.my.doc.plugin.name.jar
C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\work\Catalina\localhost\war-file-name\eclipse\plugins\com.my.doc.plugin.name.jar
Does the fact that my content is in a JAR file make a difference? Is
there a different way that Tomcat handles redeploying JAR files?
Also, there is no development environment on my computer. I am taking
the WAR files from a separate build server and just trying to deploy
and redeploy locally.
Thank you.

My best guess is that the framework is not letting go... ie that plugin is
running in a thread or something... and TC cant dump the thing out of its
classloaders.
No it shouldnt make any diff... the webapp should replace "everything"...
But it is possible that a help system is doing some form of caching, running
singletons and never ending threads...
You have to (I guess) find someway of telling that system to die... its
staying alive "somehow"..
